Second Scar [Video]

[Kovu kind of feels sorry for his roommate right about now. Kovu's been growling and snarling the whole day, and by now the former lion is getting really frustrated. He can talk just fine, but he knows he's not saying anything anyone else is going to understand. Lion speech isn't exactly intelligible to someone who only knows human languages. What's worse, Kovu can't understand anything that anyone else is trying to say to him.

Lopmon's been trying to keep him calm the whole time, but it's not going so well. When the feed clicks on, Kovu looks like he's about to throw the D-terminal out the window. Lopmon cringes as Kovu just flat out roars - pretty much in his ear, no less - and then turns to the camera.]

Please tell me there's someone out there who can understand lion. I think Kovu's gonna go crazy if I'm the only one he can talk to.

[What follows will sound to almost everyone like any other big cat noises, but anyone who actually has some feline heritage will be able to understand what Kovu's saying.]

"Crazy" isn't even close.

[Luckily Fluttershy has dealt with speaking and understanding animals, so lion isn't really too much of a problem.]

I-I think something strange is going on...This has happened earlier with others too...

[Except it comes out as a bunch of horse-like noises.]

[Kovu just gives the camera a look when he hears Fluttershy trying to talk.]

I don't think he can understand you, Fluttershy...

[She sighs softly.] I was afraid of that...

...And neither can I. All I'm hearing is neeeeeeeiigh.

[Lopmon's impression of a whinny is absolutely terrible. Kovu even looks like he's trying not to laugh.]

[She blinks at Lopmon.]

Is that what I sound like...?

[Ok Leatherhead wwould try but one thing:]

...what is a lion.

[Kovu just smacks his forehead in frustration.]

Big angry cat, roars a lot? Likes to chase antelope?

No I do not--

[And as he speaks, a horrid piglike squeal comes from his mouth. Immediately he stares at himself, horrified by what came out.]

...what the heck was that?

Not a clue.

[Kovu's staring too. The guy definitely doesn't look like he was a boar or anything.]

[He tries to apologize, but more horrific alien noises come out. Oh god, why did this happen?]

...looks like we're having technical difficulties, folks. Wanna run that again?

[Leatherhead just hangs his face in shame.]

[Hollyleaf's peering at the D-Terminal, somewhat surprised.]

Kovu, say that again, slower. I-- I think I can understand you.

[She's speaking in mrrows and mews, or at least that's what it sounds like.]

[Kovu looks pretty surprised too.]

I think...I know what you said.

[There's a pause, then Kovu snickers.]

You sound like a little cub!

[She hisses and it will actually sound like a hiss.]

If you're just going to be mean, then I'll just leave you with Lopmon!

[The little fur on her ears sticks up and her tail lashes in the background.]

C'mon, I was just teasing!

[Lopmon's the one who's snickering now.]

[She sticks her nose up in the air.]

Now apologize.

I am certainly glad that I can understand you then.

[If Nala is bothered by the strange circumstances she doesn't seem to be showing it. Giving off an air of calm, even over the video.]

I do not want to see you go crazy Kovu.

[Oh joy, it's the Queen.]

...Y-yeah.

...Thanks...

For someone who seemed so much in need of someone to talk with... you don't seem very thrilled. Did I miss something?

[Really? How is this not obvious?]

You're just...not who I was expecting.

[Lopmon scratches his head, trying to figure out why Kovu got so glum all of a sudden.]

What's so bad about talking to her?

Didn't I tell you to stay out of this last time?

So you were needing someone who could understand you and did not think I would respond? or was it that you hoped I wouldn't?

[Despite her words her tone is no more than curious.]

No kidding.

What'd he say?

That your life sucks.

...Thanks.

This whole thing is really confusing.

Want to do something to take your mind off of it?

[Lopmon relays the message.]

How are we gonna do that if we can't talk to each other?

[There's a pause, then Lopmon gets thwacked with a pillow. After a bit of a squeak, he translates for Squall.]

Verbally isn't the only way to speak to others.
